Errigal Ciaran full back Aidan McCrory has thanked the Clonmore club in Armagh as well as the Errigal Ciaran members for ensuring the team could train ahead of their All-Ireland semi-final.
Snow and ice would have impacted on the Errigal Ciaran's preparations for their All-Ireland semi-final win over Dr Crokes only for the community spirit in the area.
McCrory says club members cleared the fields for the team to train before the game while Clonmore in Armagh gave Errigal Ciaran the use of their facilities on another occasion.
Errigal Ciaran came through a stern test in Newbridge on Saturday afternoon to reach their first All-Ireland club final, where they will take on Cuala.

Enda McGinley's side looked to be on course for a narrow defeat when Micheal Burns put Crokes one up three minutes into injury time.
Peter Óg McCartan stepped up once more for Errigal Ciaran, kicking a last-gasp score to send the game to extra-time.
Joe Oguz swung the game in their favour during the extra twenty minutes, notching 1-1, backing up the brilliance of the Canavan brothers in normal time in particular.
Errigal Ciaran have won a number of tight games this year, edging the Tyrone final as well as the Ulster semi-final and final by a single point.
The All-Ireland final takes place next Sunday in Croke Park as a double header with the hurling decider, with Cuala having overcome Sligo champs Coolera-Strandhill in the other semi-final.
“Training over Christmas was an absolute joy,” McCrory told the Irish News.

"Clonmore opened for us so we went across the border into Armagh and trained there, so thanks to them for giving us their pitch for the night.
"It’s just amazing… The boys at home… The call went out on Wednesday to ask if we could get boys to come up with shovels to clear the snow off our training pitch so we could have a bit of a run-out on Thursday.
"There might have been 70 or 80 boys there to do it," he said.
Meanwhile, manager McGinley saved special praise for the Canavan brothers, describing them as 'especially talented lads.'
“How they played was something else. They were looking really sharp in training and you were hoping that they were going to cut loose because they are especially talented lads," he said to the Irish News.
"They are just driven and they are hungry for the team and they just want to work hard for the team."
